Abstract

This research selects didactic strategies that promote transversal competencies for Sustainable Development in university students; the methodology used was the systematic literature review (observation window from 1996 to 2020), which reveals that 13 basic transversal competencies with their didactic strategies are identified. It should be emphasized that the important thing is to implement strategies that provide the expected results; these will be permanently valued in the classroom work, in the independent work of the students, as well as in the pedagogical work of the teachers.
